Question:

A uniform disk of mass 2.5 kg and radius 6.4 cm is mounted in the center of a 10-cm axle and spun at 700rev/min. The axle is then placed in a horizontal position with one end resting on a pivot. The other end is given an initial horizontal velocity such that the precession is smooth with no nutation.

(a) What is the angular velocity of precession?

(b) What is the speed of the center of mass during the precession?

(c) What are the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the center of mass?

(d) What are the vertical and horizontal components of the force exerted by the pivot?
